Sure, and in "The Enterprise Incident" he drinks an unnamed blue Romulan alcohol to keep up appearances while leading on the Romulan commander. However, in "Requiem For Methuselah" he consumes Saurian brandy simply to do so.
Oh dang, huge flub on my part! Thanks for pointing that out.
Who?
Some character that was added to Seven’s backstory for PIC as near as I can tell.
Civilian crew are still crew!
Are you saying Guinan was crew aboard the Enterprise D?
Huh…I could’ve sworn it was a picture of a blank bulkhead.
Icheb was never a security officer.
You could tell it was Reed because if you paused the episode at the right moment, you’d see that the puzzle includes his entire bit about how much he enjoys T’Pol’s posterior on the side, the most memorable thing he did across four seasons.
It's one of the better variations of Catan, too, using the same rules as the Helpers of Catan scenarios expansion.
I got a copy for my dad a few years before he passed. He mostly enjoyed games like Trivia Pursuit, but the Trek theme did draw him in to this version of Catan.
I am not a tech guy by any measure, but as I understand it, it might be related a security option on your browser blocking trackers? For whatever reason .website extensions show up on a lot of spam lists.
but nice to see him in action fighting fascists.
It really is a full time job.
It really bumped me when I was scrubbing through "The Pirates of Orion" to confirm something for this post, and they started saying "OrEEahn," which I had completely forgotten. Went go back to "Journey to Babel" to make sure they didn't pronounce it that way in there, too.
I don't think I will be sticking with Picard's Academy. A story about how young Jean-Luc Picard was a dick, and needed to learn how to make friends doesn't hold much appeal. We know from "The Samaritan Snare" and "Tapestry" that during his Academy days Picard was a bit of a rover and rabble rouser, so seeing him here as a guy obsessed with getting top marks and being alone doesn't really fit. Granted, he's only second year here, but regardless.
Some aspects of the story are the writer, Sam Maggs, trying too hard to be cute, like Picard asking Boothby if he has coffee instead before settling for tea, and some choices are just bizarre. A couple pages in, a caption box describes a characters as "Always drinks his respecting-women juice." Which is just a wild thing to put in a Trek comic for one, but also not relevant to the scene they're in, and we don't see the character again for the rest of the issue.
I also hate the art choices. For some reason the artist decided a Bolian character -- the respecting-women juice drinker -- should have a fin on his face and head as opposed to the bifurcation line that we see Bolians typically have. There's a Betazoid that appears to have a number of extra nostrils like an Ilari from the VOY episode, "Warlord", and if the cover is any indication they glow. In a holodeck simulation, there are a number of ENT era vessels, some of which have their nacelles connected at what appears to be 45° angles to the ships' centreline.
All in all, not much to recommend.
I really enjoyed Shaxs' Best Day. It's like 30 perfect pages of comic featuring one of my favourite characters, written by one of my favourite writers. It doesn't have much impact on the larger Day of Blood storyline, but that's fine because it as just about Shaxs unleashing his Bajoran fury on an entire planet full of Klingon fascists.
Also,
spoiler
there's a Klingon mech.
Shaxs' Bucket List:
• Beat up the Klingons (all of them) ✔
• Crashing a shuttle into a Pak'led Clumpship to beat the tar out of the Pak'leds while Baby Bear (Rutherford) installs a virus, and die a glorious death ✔
• Eject the warp core to use as a mine to destroy pursuing A.I. controlled starships ✔
You know you're not supposed to read the comments, right?
I think you were successful. Building on the end of of ENT worked well. And I appreciated that you were able to get the Protogies in there. Really hoping that's not the last time we get to see them.
